TED NUGENT Says DONALD TRUMP Is 'Not Perfect', Calls HILLARY CLINTON A 'Lying Scam Artist'

In a brand new interview with the SiriusXM satellite radio show "Eddie Trunk Live", outspoken conservative rocker Ted Nugent was asked if he likes presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. He responded: "I like Donald Trump a lot. He's not perfect, but compared to this lying scam artist… I've gotta tell you, that's not Ted Nugent's opinion. This Hillary Clinton, she is a criminal. She is a liar. She is so corrupt. She is not just corrupt in abusing power to a criminal level, she is destroying America with her so-called 'foundation' slush fund and all the evidence that the media will not report accurately. Donald Trump's not perfect, but compared to her, he's almost Michael The Archangel. And this is a culture war. It's a culture war, not a culture argument."

He continued: "Hillary Clinton doesn't believe in the Constitution or the Bill Of Rights, and when she claims she does, her actions prove she's a liar.

"I believe that the record turnout for Donald Trump is an inescapable indicator that real, working-hard-playing-hard Americans, people who are in the asset column — not those who have given up looking for work, not those who have a list of jobs they're not willing to do, which isn't American, by the way; that's French. The real producers of this country are coming out for Donald Trump because they know that what the Democrats represent today is clearly anti-American, it's anti-excellence, it's anti-independence, it's anti-rugged individualism. The Democrats literally think you should be able to sleep in and get some of Eddie Trunk's earnings, and it's tragic. And that's not America."

Nugent went on to say: "The battlecry for America, to be strong, should be 'earn your own way.' And when you earn your own way, you make America strong, you benefit your family and your neighbors, and you can hold your head proudly. Because earning your own way is the essence of the Declaration Of Independence, not the declaration of dependency.

"When it comes to generosity, those of us that work hard give and give and give. I know you give, I give, everybody I know gives to needy Americans and to charities. But those who don't earn their own way don't give anything."

Nugent in 2014 apologized for referring to President Barack Obama as a "subhuman mongrel," calling that word grouping "street-fighter terminology" and saying he wished he used "more understandable language," such as "violator of his oath to the Constitution."

Nugent was investigated by the Secret Service in April 2012 after saying that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama was re-elected.
